When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, what happens - briefly?
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, several changes occur in your interaction with that contact. You will no longer be able to see their profile picture, status updates, or any messages sent from them. Additionally, your messages to the blocked contact will only show one checkmark (indicating they were sent but not delivered), and calls will go directly to voicemail without ringing.
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, what happens - in detail?
When someone blocks you on WhatsApp, several changes occur in the interaction dynamics between your accounts. Firstly, all messages sent to the blocker will remain undelivered and will not show any confirmation marks (one check mark for received, two for delivered). This indicates that the recipient has not seen your message. Additionally, you will no longer be able to see the blocker's last seen or online status, nor can you view their profile picture. Any changes made to the profile picture by the blocker after the block will also remain invisible to you.
Furthermore, calls, both voice and video, initiated from your end will not connect. The call will ring indefinitely on your side without any response from the other end. Group chats behave differently; if you are part of a group with the person who blocked you, you can still see their messages within that group. However, they cannot see any of your messages or status updates in the group.
It is important to note that while WhatsApp does not send a notification to inform you that you have been blocked, these changes can serve as indicators. If you suspect you might be blocked, trying to call or message the person and observing the above behaviors can help confirm your suspicion.
